    En Centrafrique, la terre était un bien communautaire inaliénable. Les autochtones occupaient des domaines pour l’agriculture qui devenaient par la suite leurs « propriétés ». Au fur et à mesure que la population croît dans les zones périurbaines, la réserve foncière communautaire diminue et devient des réserves foncières familiales, ce qui a conduit à l’individualisation des droits fonciers marquant ainsi une rupture avec le mode d’accès traditionnel au profit d’un mode d’accès moderne à la terre agricole devenue un bien marchand.

    According to estimates by the International Land Coalition based at the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), 57 million hectares of land have been leased to foreign investors since 2007. Current research has focused on human rights issues related to inward investment in land but has been ignorant of water resource issues and the challenges of managing scarce water. This handbook will be the first to address inward investment in land and its impact on water resources in Africa.
